In order to lprovide for better heatradiation by providing better contact VWith the pipes the fins 16,V areplaced in staggered relation. It will beobvious to those skilledin theart that various changes may be made in myV device Without departingfrom the spirit of the invention and therefore I do not limit myy selfto what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification, butonly a-s indicated inthe appended claims.4
